Why do I have to do two English tests?

Multiple-choice Grammar & Vocabulary Test (with or without Reading & Writing assignments)

The English Grammar & Vocabulary (Reading & Writing) Test is a multiple-choice test that resembles a traditional and conventional type of testing you often see at universities and schools.

Depending on the needs and requirements of your company, you may also be asked to do additional reading and writing assignments. In that case the test will be a Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading & Writing test. It will include multiple-choice questions AND some writing assignments.

Both the English Grammar & Vocabulary and Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading & Writing Tests check your skills in grammar and vocabulary.

Level Test online with a tutor

In its turn, the Level Test is a 20-minute conversation with an English tutor on englishcentral.com, and demands more than a multiple-choice test does. 

Among other things, the Level Test checks your language skills by requiring you to improvise; thus, it is more similar to real-life communication in English. Therefore, the Level Test result is often somewhat lower than outcomes of multiple-choice tests given at schools or language institutes. 

• Your English level is determined based on the Level Test result. However, the English Grammar & Vocabulary (or Grammar, Vocabulary, Reading & Writing) Test is to nuance and serves as an extra check to balance the assessment of the oral test.
